:rabbit2: first a big thank you to all who gave advise on my question re compromise. i have realised that i am still greiving for the loss of my little mate,and with the support of a certain rescue owner,where i help out,have thought this trough properly. i am clearly not going to be able to have bunnies indoors permently so i will build a home for them outside. i have now purchased my new bonded pair of bunnies from the rescue and i will pick them up when the dust settles, from the wife and my greiving but most importantly when i have built their new home.
